Still have it, and hopefully will for the rest of my life! as long as we dont move somewhere hot... (no A/C) it runs perfectly still. No issues whatsoever. Averages 28mpg mixed, little less when running all highway, just due to the fact its running near top speed. I think this engine would be perfect for a 40, its a little underpowered for a 60, but the exact same thing could be said for the 2F. Im not in a hurry to get anywhere.

Nice job, I'm currently working on installing a 3.3 Cummins in my sons FJ40. It's a project to finish while he is deployed. I have a 6BT5.9 Cummins in my 86 FJ60 and it has been the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned.

Hi. I see it's been a long time since u last posted. Is it still running well? I am planning to so this same swap. I have my 3.3 a nv4500 and a 84 fj60. Just working on rebuilding my engine now. I was wondering if you have done any towing with your cruiser? I am wanting to tow a light overland trailer. Do you feel your cruiser could handle a 1500-1800 lb trailer. Thanks.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Cummins is running perfectly. I just had an oil analysis done by blackwater and they even said I could go longer between oil changes (currently changing every 5k). To answer your question I would not recommend this for towing. The motor just does not power the FJ60 enough to get you up to speed. I am the slow guy on every mountain pass with just me in the vehicle! However the economy is awesome. I recently installed a webasto in there so I can heat it up nicely in the winter before I drive. That's the one thing, this motor never seems to get hot. It takes awhile to get any meaningful heat in the cab.
